Opportunity Summary:
The Lower Consumnes River Floodplain Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number BLM L11AS00224) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on natural resources restoration at the Consumnes River Preserve. The project goal was to restore the BLM-owned Cougar Wetland Complex, a 154-acre site, back to its original floodplain and slough function. In practical terms, the work was aimed at re-establishing natural hydrology and wetland-floodplain processes that support healthy riparian and aquatic ecosystems. Once the restoration was completed, the dominant habitat type was expected to become valley oak (Quercus lobata) riparian forest, a valuable and increasingly rare habitat in California. A key point emphasized in the announcement is that this parcel would represent the only example of this unique valley oak riparian forest habitat owned and managed by BLM, giving the project added long-term conservation importance.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, meaning the award would likely involve substantial involvement and collaboration with the agency rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity was categorized under the CFDA program 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, aligning it with broader federal priorities around habitat conservation, restoration, and ecological resource management. The total estimated funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $10,000. Only one award was expected, suggesting the agency intended to fund a single lead organization to carry out the work in coordination with BLM and other preserve partners. No cost share or matching funds were required, which typically reduces barriers for qualified nonprofit applicants and can make it easier to direct the full budget toward on-the-ground restoration activities.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and applicants also had to be a partner or cooperator at the Consumnes River Preserve. That eligibility requirement indicates the project was meant to be implemented by an organization already engaged in the preserve and familiar with its management, stakeholders, and ecological conditions. The opportunity was posted on August 16, 2011, and closed on September 5, 2011, with the archive date listed as October 5, 2011, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
